The Lukoil-owned Volgograd oil refinery in southern Russia was
stopped on Feb. 11 after a Ukrainian attack, Reuters reported
on Feb. 12, citing sources.
The sources told Reuters that the plant’s primary crude distillation unit, CDU‑1, which provides about 40% of the total capacity, was damaged. Reuters says CDU‑1 can process roughly 140,000 barrels of oil a day.
In 2024 the Volgograd refinery processed 13.5 million metric tons of oil, or about 5% of Russia’s refinery throughput. The plant produced about 6 million tons of diesel fuel, 1.9 million tons of gasoline, and 700,000 tons of fuel oil, the report added.
Also on Feb. 12, Ukraine’s General Staff reported another attack
on Russia’s Volgograd Oblast, this time targeting a military arsenal near
Kotluban. The facility was hit by FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, according to manufacturer
Fire Point.
